Embodiment Construction

[0014]With reference to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 denotes as a whole a labelling apparatus for preparing, in a sterile environment, injectable medicines containing radioactive substances, for example but without limiting the scope of the invention, anti-tumour medicines containing beta-emitting substances.

[0015]The apparatus 1 comprises a frame 2 on which seven motor-driven valves 3a-3g are mounted, arranged in series, one after another.

[0016]The valves 3a-3g are all three-way with quick coupling on their respective actuator 4a-4g.

[0017]The actuators 4a-4g, schematically illustrated by respective blocks in the accompanying drawings, are mounted cantilever-style on the frame 2, so that their coupling faces towards the front part of the apparatus 1.

[0018]The valve 3a has a first port, communicating with a suction / pumping mouth 5 of a syringe 6, a second port, communicating with a tank 7 containing a washing buffer liquid, and a third port communicating with the first p...

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for preparing medicines containing radioactive substances, more specifically injectable medicines containing beta-emitting substances, in which a radioactive element is combined, in a mixture, with a protein to be labelled using the radioactive element; the mixture is then subjected to a chromatographic separation step which separates the mixture and isolates the medicine (16).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for preparing medicines containing radioactive substances, more specifically injectable medicines containing beta-emitting substances, to which the description below explicitly refers.[0002]As is known, injectable medicines able to emit beta rays are used to eliminate tumour cells in a way that is more selective and less harmful than exposing the whole body to the rays.[0003]The first step of preparation of such medicines involves labelling, or radio-labelling, in which the radioactive substance is incorporated in a protein to create the medicine to be injected.[0004]The whole preparation process must take place in a rigorously sterile and shielded environment. On one hand total sterility of the drug or medicine must be guaranteed, whilst on the other hand protection from harmful exposure to beta rays is required for the operator who supervises the labelling process.[0005]For that reason, in addition to ...
